SynopsisDr. Belisa Vranich, a clinical psychologist and fitness expert, introduced a daily workout that helped our bodies relearn the proper way to inhale and exhale in her groundbreaking book, Breathe. Now, with award-winning author Brian Sabin, she continues her breath work revolution and takes us to the next level of performance with the powerful science and techniques of Breathing for Warriors. Whether you are a professional athlete, a first responder, or someone whose occupation requires physical skills and stamina, Dr. Vranich's series of exercises-which restores and reinforces how we're actually supposed to breathe-will teach you how to keep your body, and your mind, in prime condition. Featuring information and advice from scientists, medical experts, martial artists, sports celebrities, elite military soldiers, and top-tier personal trainers, Breathing for Warriors shows you how to rediscover your diaphragm through practices that bring a greater flow of oxygen-rich air into your body. These exercises, combined with meditation, stretches, and strength activities help improve your endurance and focus, empowering you to engage in more physically demanding tasks and recover from them faster. When you breathe well, you are better equipped to reduce stress, build resilience, think clearer, detox, and much more. With photographs illustrating step-by-step instructions, Dr. Vranich's routines will help you optimize your performance and improve your endurance, strength, precision, and recovery. Book jacket., Dr. Belisa Vranich's ground-breaking second book teaches the science, techniques, and benefits of breathing correctly and efficiently for warriors in all walks of life. People are less in touch with their bodies--and especially their breathing--than ever before. Ironically, athletes and others who pride themselves on taking care of their bodies actually put themselves at greater risk. Why? Because they're asking their body to take on next-level demands, but failing at life's most essential skill: efficient breathing. Proper breathing is the world's most powerful biohack. Learning it will help you feel better, avoid injury, and perform at your very best (including in bed ). Champion gladiators, master martial artists, even spearfishers all had one thing in common: efficient breathing to achieve flawless execution. An elite few still understand: Navy SEALs who need to make the perfect shot, super-elite weightlifters who truly understand how to harness and channel their energy, free-divers who can spend seemingly impossible amounts of time underwater, and high-profile execs who keep calm before multi-billion-dollar presentations. You can learn their secrets. From the corporate athlete to the tactical ninja, Breathing for Warriors is a practical, science-forward book that focuses on everything related to breathing and performance--from muscles and workouts to an impenetrable inner game., Dr. Belisa Vranich's ground-breaking second book teaches the science, techniques, and benefits of breathing correctly and efficiently for warriors in all walks of life.
